x is an integer; the integers are x, x+1, x+2;

Symbolizing the description:
3(x+2)+2=five times the smallest increased by three times the middle integer ;
3%28x%2B2%29%2B2=5%28x%29%2B3%28x%2B1%29, but the description is not clear.

The description could also, because it lacks precision, mean
3%28x%2B2%29%2B2=5%28x%2B3%28x%2B1%29%29

Either ask for clarity from the supplier of the question, or if one of the equations gives an integer value and the other does not, then you know which is the correctly meant question and you can then adjust the question accordingly.

I messed up part of your question posting when I copied and pasted part of it. That much was my mistake. If you write me privately, I will try to adjust the question back the way it was written.
